Desperately seeking rusty models
The locations for the photos of the model on a beach and in some rocks was a compromise.I was really looking for some rusty old farm machinery as a background.
But for some reason, probably connected with the demand for scrap metal in China, and \or generous government subsidies for farmers, there was no rusty old farm machinery around.
Always be on the lookout for a good background.
Especially, look out for a background that conflicts with the model.
She's probably young and pretty, so look out for something that's old and ugly lol

featuring desperately seeking rusty models| amazing adventures with studio model photography
It's pretty easy to find a model but it isn't so easy to find
the right location for the shoot. Will you be
shooting in a studio or outdoors?The main advantages with studio photography is that you can control the lighting and you don't have to rely on the weather. The main advantages of outdoor model photography is that it's more natural and the backgrounds can be more interesting. The disadvantages are that you can't (entirely) control the lighting and you have to rely on the weather.
Amazing adventures with studio model photography
Studio model photography isn't usually as challenging as shooting outdoors, from a `props' point of view. Most studios only have a limited range of props so it's pretty easy to decide which to use.But it's also pretty easy to expand your range of props, you just have to be a little imaginative. And practical, there's no point in buying a prop that takes up a lot of space and won't be used very often.
Look at the work of other photographers, and if they've used an interesting prop, make a note of it. For example, somewhere on the Web there's a photograph of a model on a cane chair. The floor is bare, it has old fashioned floorboards, and the light is from a louvered window. The light from between the slats casts an interesting pattern over the scene.
Antique furniture in the model photography studio
(click on the photo to enlarge it)This model is posing on a Victorian hall chair. It's really a formal piece of furniture, bought for portrait photography, but it can easily be adapted to model photography.
This scene could easily be replicated, you don't need real old fashioned floorboards or a complete louvered window, that is part of the building. You could buy a cheap louvered window and place the light source behind, it to give the impression that the light is coming through a complete louvered window that is part of the building. It's also easy to replicate old fashioned floorboards. You can buy sheets of flooring that look like old fashioned floorboards.
Before going ahead with an idea like this you have to ask yourself how easy it would be to store the props and how often you might use them. Probably the best idea is to set aside part of your photography studio as a storage area for props, and only acquire the kind of props that will fit into this space.
Cane furniture is light and easy to move around the photography studio. It's also pretty cheap to buy, new and used. It isn't very comfortable to pose on so don't ask your model to spend too long on it. Arrange the lighting approximately the way you want it first, then ask her to pose on it.
